Linda Ronstadt: Hasten Down The Wind (Asylum)
Miles, NME, 21 August 1976
LINDA RONSTADT has taken a tip from Carly Simon and taken off her bra for an album sleeve – not that she ever did wear one. I well remember Linda saying seven years ago, "In all of the world, outside of California, if you don't wear a bra, it supposedly means you want to ball everybody. I don't."
